<p>The UPenn website says that Jan. tests are only accepted if they are retakes. I'm taking a third SAT subject test to improve my score. Does this count as a re-take, even if I didn't take the literature one specifically before? Does re-take mean that we had to send the score report to them one time before the Jan. one? Thanks!</p>
<p>I believe they mean retakes of subject tests you've already taken.</p>
<p>While we're on the subject, I took Biology-E in October and got 760, and will be re-taking it in January along with other tests (lower scores than Bio last time) in hopes of improving my results. Should I re-take it as Bio-E? I was planning on taking it the Molecular this time, but I'm not sure if that would count as a re-take or a different exam...</p>
<p>and for january retaking, are we compulsory to rush the scores to upenn?? i have wasted so much money on SAT and i wish to save as much as possible now :)</p>
<p>Just curious as to where you found the information about the retakes, as I am a bit confused about this as well. My subject test scores are not very high, and I plan to "retake" them (2 old subjects + 1 new one) in January.</p>
<p>In the pdf supplement to Penn, the timetable says this:
January 24 Last SAT testing date for Regular Decision applicants.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, on the College Board Website, it says this with regards to the SAT/ACT score report due date:
SAT®/ACT score report: 01-Jan</p>
<p>Does anyone know which timetable is correct, and if January scores are indeed valid as the supplement states?</p>
<p>From Penn's website:

When</a> to Take the Tests</p>
<ul>
<li>Early Decision candidates should take these examinations either during the junior year or in the summer before the senior year, but no later than November 2008. Early Decision candidates who opt for November examinations must rush their test scores to us. </li>
</ul>
<p>-Regular Decision candidates should complete all testing by December of their senior year. First-time testing delayed until January will place the applicant at a disadvantage in our evaluation process. Tests retaken in January will be accepted. </p>
<p>-Please Note: Using the score suppression option may result in scores not being received by the applicable deadline.

<p>It doesn't mention rushing January scores, although perhaps contact the admissions office if you are concerned.</p>
